Chapter 4:
The early morning was spent near the well . . .
. . . Shippou asking too many questions for his own good.
. . . Sango and Miroku snuggling by the embers.
. . . Inuyasha pacing back and forth.
'When are her damn friends going to leave?!' Inuyasha growled finally stopping and leaning on the well in thought.
"Inuyasha, come on, you know she's coming," Sango rationalized, "Eat something."
Inuyasha chose to ignore this form of persuasion by staring into the well in hopes of seeing Kagome's beautiful face staring up at him.
"Kagome left some ramen behind in her pack," Sango threw a box at the hanyou's head.
Inuyasha allowed the instant noodles to hit his head and roll away.
Miroku and Sango's eyes widened. "He . . . Turned down ramen . . ." Sango breathed.
"Inuyasha, what did you say to her this time?" Shippou hopped up onto the hanyou's head.
"What do you mean 'what did I say to her'?" Inuyasha said in monotone, seemingly unaffected by the kitsune's accusations.
"What's wrong with you?" Shippou poked the back of Inuyasha's head expecting it to be a death wish.
"Nothing," Inuyasha could hear a low rumbling coming from the other side of the well. He'd heard that sound in Kagome's time before, it was something she called a car. When you heard that sound it meant something that made his spirits soar.
Shippou scowled, "Well, something's wro-"
"They're leaving!" Inuyasha slammed his fist triumphantly onto the well's frame, a smug grin on his face. "They're finally gone!"
Shippou slowly backed away from the hanyou that had definitely finally been hit one too many times in the head.
***
"Bye!" Kagome waved from her doorstep to her friends as they left in their parents' cars. 'Finally!' Before the cars disappeared from view Kagome was running towards the well.
Inuyasha's nose picked up something, the familiar scent of honey and lavender coming closer.
Kagome was coming.
Just as he thought, Kagome appeared at the bottom of the well seconds later, the brightest smile he'd ever seen plastered on her face.
"Hey guys!" Kagome climbed out of the well. "How are all . . . of . . . you . . .?" Kagome trailed off when she noticed Sango and Miroku's knowing smiles. "Um . . . OOF!" Shippou dived into Kagome's arms.
"Kagome! I've missed you!" Shippou beamed, "What did Inuyasha do this time?"
Kagome looked back at the hanyou, "Nothing . . . *bad*," Kagome giggled causing the hanyou to blush and turn away.
Shippou eyed Kagome, then Inuyasha, suspiciously, "I don't get it."
"Don't worry about it, Shippou-chan," Kagome smiled allowing the kitsune to hop off her shoulder.
"What did you mean by 'nothing *bad*' Kagome-chan?" Sango walked up to her friend with a smirk on her face.
"Wha-" Kagome's cheeks grew hot. "What do I mean?"
"Come on," Sango grabbed the younger girl by the arm dragging her into the forest, "We'll leave the guys alone."
As the girls left his view, Inuyasha grumbled searching for something to do.
'I could always wait for Shippou to annoy me and then kill the brat - - -
- - - But then Kagome would kill me.'
Inuyasha cursed the prayer beads around his neck, oblivious to Miroku following him with his eyes.
***
"So . . ." Kagome drawled looking up at the clear blue sky. "Why'd you drag me out here?"
Sango took a moment and looked at her friend, a mischievous glint in her eye. "What changed between you two in your time?"
Kagome could feel her cheeks burning fiercely, "Well, I was having a sleepover - I told you about those - and he came by . . ."
"Uh huh," Sango nodded, anxious for the part she already had suspected to come into play. "Go on."
Kagome sighed, a small smile creeping onto her face, "All my friends wanted to know who he was, so I told them he was a friend that had come by to borrow something," Kagome's cheeks burned hotter as she went deeper into her tale. "They wanted him to stay, so he did. I mean, he had nothing better to do, he *was* in his human form." Kagome looked over at her friend, curious of how she would react.
Sango said nothing, a smile of her own forming.
"So they were flirting with him. He went to bed in Souta's room and then they all crept in and watched him."
Sango blocked her laughter with her clasped hands, "Mhm."
Kagome gave her friend a quick glare, "Anyway, then I went outside to get some fresh air and he was out there too . . ." Kagome's voice became too soft for Sango's weak human ears to hear.
"What?" Sango leaned in closer, expecting her friend to whisper.
"Then he . . . Kissed me."
Sango jumped up from her place on the log, nearly knocking Kagome off in the process. "Oh Kagome-chan! It finally happened! Miroku and I have been wondering when you would finally get the hints you threw at each other! Now you-"
"Breathe Sango-chan," Kagome said, amused at her friend behavior. "Calm down."
Sango took in a deep breath.
"So what has happened between you and Lord Miroku?" Kagome winked at her friend.
Sango let out the air directly into her friends face, both our their cheeks equally red.
"Well . . ."
Before the girls knew it they were both squealing and jumping up and down giddily.
***
"Inuyasha," Miroku spoke, causing the hanyou to snap out of his thoughts, "what transpired between you and Lady Kagome while on her side of the well?"
Inuyasha paused mid-step, his back turned to the monk. "Whad'youmean?" He slurred the words together, picking Shippou up by the tail before the young kitsune stole his ramen.
Miroku's eyebrow raised, "Oh . . . I see." The monk cleared his throat, "Well then."
Inuyasha spun around, his eyes only slits, "What do you 'see'?"
Miroku took a sip of his tea as a mischievous smile formed, "You old dog."
"Could you stop saying that?!" Inuyasha growled, crossing his arms in defiance. "What the hell do you think we *did* anyway?"
Miroku spoke volumes with his hentai grin.
The hanyou's eyes widened, "You hentai!" Inuyasha fought back the burning in his cheeks. "That's not what we did anyway," he muttered.
"Sure it isn't," Miroku coughed. "I mean, why would it be? It's not like you two care for one another."
?!
"What the hell do you mean?!" Inuyasha growled, "Of *course* we care for each other! That's why we kissed you damn baka hentai!"
Did he just say all of that out loud?
. . .
Curses.
Miroku smirked jovially. "Yeah, you said it out loud."
How did he-?
"Keh."
"We're back!" Kagome called, her and the demon exterminator both appeared through the trees.
Inuyasha noticed both girls seemed for giddy than before they had left. What had they been talking about?
. . .
Oh.
That.
Inuyasha coughed involuntarily and walked over to Kagome, "Hey."
. . .?
Hey?
What the hell was happening to him?
Kagome seemed just as bemused, "Hey." She tilted her head to the left, seemingly amused by his display. "So what, um, did you two talk about while we've been gone?"
"Nothing." Inuyasha said defensively, "What'd you two talk about?"
Kagome shrugged, "You."
The hanyou's eyes widened but quickly returned to normal. "What'd you say about me?" he asked nonchalantly.
Kagome tweaked the hanyou's nose, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
Hell yes he wanted to know.
Not like he'd ever admit it.
. . .
Around Miroku and Sango.
Grabbing the girl's arm he dragged her off the exact forest she had been dragged off into minutes ago.
This was getting old.

I know it's short for all the time I've been working on it. The thing is I have 4 stories going and I'm trying to write them all at the same time. Plus I have one shots I'm working on and then new story ideas are popping in all the time. It would really help me, and I mean *really* if you could review some other stories. It's not just because they're fun to get, it's because they truly inspire me to write more. So R&R and I promise to update sooner than this one came out. ^_^
Anyway, enjoy the weekend.
